This has to be one of the best equestrian set ups out there! Beautifully finished and carefully designed by the current owners, the facilities are second to none. The house too offers everything a growing family could want, with generous proportions and a quality feel, as well as private gardens with a hot tub, bar and more.

Everything Equestrian The owners of this impressive abode knew right away this was the place for them, before they’d even set foot inside. “When you drive up, the house is so handsome – it’s such a beautiful build – and the setting truly idyllic. We loved the combination of a modern, low maintenance home with a traditional character feel and we could see the potential of the land.” Over their time here, they have worked hard to create the first-class, professional- standard equestrian facilities that make this place stand out from the crowd, with no expense spared. In addition to the stabling, tack room and paddocks (all with automated water troughs), there’s an outdoor arena, a field where you can lay a dressage arena, plus a cross-country course. Visibility across the paddocks is excellent, so it’s very secure and you can enjoy looking out over the horses from home. There’s even the option of accommodation over the garage, perhaps for a groom or au pair.

KEY FEATURES

Exploring The Area You’ll be spoilt for choice here, as you have hacking in the area on top of the exceptional facilities back at home. The quiet lanes are also brilliant for walking, jogging or cycling and you can easily get out and about to explore the countryside. The beaches around here are beautiful, with golden sands, dog-friendly dunes and a resident seal colony. You’re also close to the Norfolk Broads, for sailing, paddle- boarding, kayaking or birdwatching – or you can take advantage of the many places to eat and drink and enjoy the holiday feel! You’re well catered for day to day too with a farm shop within walking distance, as well as a wide range of amenities across the surrounding villages. You don’t need to go far if you don’t want to.

Family Friendly All this and we haven’t even looked at the house yet! The warm, honey- coloured frontage invites you in and as soon as you step inside and see the stunning reception hall, open to the galleried landing above, you know this is something special. As you explore further, little touches reveal themselves, like the leaded internal window to the formal dining room, which throws beautiful colours around the room as the sun pours in. The owners love family time and the spacious sitting room is perfect for gathering together, relaxing whilst watching a movie in front of the log burner. The kitchen is the hub of family life and has a generous dining area and doors onto the terrace beyond. This room is delightfully cool in summer and a welcome respite on a hot day! The owners have put wrought iron fencing around the terrace, enclosing it so they can leave the doors open and have their dogs wander in and out, without blocking the open aspect and lovely views. Upstairs the bedrooms are all a good size, so teens will be able to hide away in their rooms as much as they like!

Party Time! If you like a party, this is the place for you! As well as the generously proportioned interior, the grounds include a log fired hot tub – perfect for star gazing on clear nights, drink in hand. There’s also a bar where the owners like to sit and play cards or board games as a family, and an outdoor kitchen where they can fire up the barbecue. “The sunsets here are magnificent, with nothing to spoil your view. The colours are like nothing else I’ve seen – really amazing.” There’s plenty of wildlife too, so never a dull moment here, whether you’re unwinding in peace after work or catering for a crowd on a special occasion.
